Calendar Grey July 19, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Navigating the core issues of key extraction and addressing stack overflow vulnerabilities in libtomcrypt amid Fedora's latest update announcement.
- Fix Side Channel Based ECDSA Key Extraction (CVE-2018-12437) (PR #408) - Fix potential stack overflow when DER flexi-decoding (CVE-2018-0739) (PR #373) - Fix two-key 3DES (PR #39...

Summary

A comprehensive, modular and portable cryptographic toolkit that provides

developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers, one-way hash

functions, chaining modes, pseudo-random number generators, public key

cryptography and a plethora of other routines.

Designed from the ground up to be very simple to use. It has a modular and

standard API that allows new ciphers, hashes and PRNGs to be added or removed

without change to the overall end application. It features easy to use functions

and a complete user manual which has many source snippet examples.
